Eactly. Porsches are gash. I also love Boss Cerbera's vid of him chasing, and over taking, a 600+bhp Porsche in a 420bhp Cerb.

Have you seen Andy Monsters vid of him racing a Lambo and a Big Yankee cool

If only i could remember how to post a link to it perhaps Hamish recalls the one I'm on about

Hang on try this....

ETA what sizes/offsets are you running?

Thanks for the compliment smile

.I still think it's difficult to better what TVR fitted in wheel designs,but tyre choice is a priority for me.I chose them as they dont look to fussy or bling to me,and i wanted to keep it simple to compliment the griff lines.The sizes are 18"x9 @40ET and 17"x8 @25ET.This allows me to have 265 tyres on the rear and you could put 235's on the front,but i'm using 215's as they were bought for unassisted steering.Unfortunately you cant get a 17" 225x40 tyre.
They certainly improve the handling as well,i'm running Bridgestone RE050 acemetrics all round.

How is clearance at those sizes? Did they bolt straight on? Do you have any probs at full compression or full lock?

Bolt straight on and no clearance problems at all once ride height readjusted to compenste for larger diameter rears.It is a very close thing on the rears,as the tyres just touched the inside edge of the outer of the drivers side wheel arch before ride height was re-adjusted and this was with compression set very soft on the Nitrons.To their defence,my car sits lower than std,and it was only the slightest rub under extreme circumstances.It was obviously just a body moulding tolerance thing.The guy at Compomotive certainly knew his stuff with the TVR figures due to a fair bit of race experience,and to be fair he did warn me that arches might possibly need dressing with 265's but i was prepared to take that chance as i need the rubber anyway.As said,no problems at all once i put the ride height back up 5mm,which is still lower than std!

What about speedo accuracy! wink

a 265/35 18 is a 6% change according to the bible,

The speedo still over-reads!It's only 2.52% increase compared to the old 245/45/16's acording to this tyre size calculator http://www.alloywheels.com/tyrecalc.asp

That doesn't seem as bad as the chart in the bible, 18mm is neither here nor there. My new Protech's are currently 15mm longer than the original shocks so they will hopefully bolt straight on. thumbup

'tis all in the eye of the beholder, no?

I love Tivs, althought I don't own one yet (the Mrs is getting one this year tho) and love German motors too.

Also, you aren't taking driver ability into the equation or a multitude of other factors...

Still a great pic tho :-)
